From understanding childhood development to deciphering the neural basis for cognitive functions, Western cultivates an integrated approach to studies of the brain that bring together some of the most accomplished minds at the forefront of neuroscience research, with a specific focus on cognitive neuroscience.

Our children are our future. Over the past several years, various initiatives across campus, and within the London community, have coalesced in a concerted effort to strategically address barriers to the successful development of our children and youth. From mental and physical health to learning outcomes and capacity-building for parents, teachers, professionals and communities, this work can only happen in close partnership with our communities.
